Final Fantasy 3 DS (Full)

[Meeplelard]

Yep, I'm psychotic enough to do ANOTHER FF3 stat topic. Why'd I bother?
...cause no one else would, and the game is awesome...

Would like to give thanks to Sage who helped out in a variety of ways...mostly just agreeing with set ups and such, and saying values looked right.

...anyway, FF3DS is quite a bit different from FF3o...as in they totally revamped the balance and such. Now every class has some sort of use end game (...theoretically anyway), added a bunch of new equips in, etc, and some classes got new skills (Warrior got Advance, for example) and others learned spells (Like Scholar.) The new "Freelancer" Class was added in as well, replacing Onion Knight, which became an OMG SPESHUL Wifi only class. Also, Algorithms were totally revamped, so...yeah...anyway, first an explanation of how I took things in the DL:

First off, all classes are level 55. That's about standard for end game and a nice round number. HP at this point is around 2800. Like FF3o, HP depends on how a class was raised, though the differences don't matter much in the end unless you did something like Black Belt from an early level and stayed with it til then, but that's a special twinking case, etc. Like FF3o, the game uses a hit system, in you gain hits when you hit certain benchmarks based on a variety of factors, and do more damage as such. Unfortunatly, FF3DS wasn't kind of enough to list # of hits in the stat menu, making them total jerks...though fortunatly, the game STILL lists how many hits are done mid fight, and you can even see when a hit misses, as the hit is attempted, but it yields no contact animation/sound effect when (heck, think you even hear a "whiff" sound on the miss) for that hit.
It also uses Spell Charges instead of MP like in the original, so yeah, its Suiko style MP, as another way to note it, or FF1NES/Origins style, etc.
All classes can dual wield. This can be applied to Weapons or Shields, though its generally best to dual wield a weapon if you can, as the offense boost > Defense boost. Note that only Red Mage and Onion Knight can actually make use of Dual Shields, being able to use Shields AND having skillsets not totally reliant on weapons (namely magic), so no other class can even CONSIDER dual wielding Shields, for one reason or another.
Also, Harps are 2 Handed, so naturally, can't dual wield them. Similarly, Bows are too, though you equip an Arrow in the otherhand, the game sort of treats that as another weapon anyway, so same basic principle applies anyway, just don't expect to see an Archer using 2 Bows, obviously.

For Job Levels, every class has distinct growth patterns, and giving, say, Ninja, a slowish growing class from the Earth Crystal, the same amount of Job Levels as the Thief, a fast growing class from the Wind Crystal, wouldn't be totally fair. As such, used the following method for JLevels:

Freelancer gets 99 Job Levels. Its the fastest growing class in the game asside from Scholar, but offsets this by being a lot earlier, even having a whole dungeon (2 in the case of Luneth) and overworld trecking where you're required to use it, getting 99 JLevels with constant use is Trivial.

Wind Crystal jobs have JLevels based on how many actions it takes for Freelancer to hit JL99; seems fair, you have them nearly the entire game. Its true Freelancer will gain some JLevels before you gain any classes, but...Freelancer also probably gets more JLevels than 99, so yeah.

Fire Crystal Jobs get 70% the actions Freelancer/Wind Crystal gets. You get Fire Crystal jobs roughly 30% of the way through the game, so seems fair.

Water Crystal gets 60% of the innitial value; see Fire Crystal, only gotten two moderatly long dungeons after.

Earth Crystal is 30%; this...actually feels generous, but I'm assuming Leviathan and Bahamut Side Quests haven't been done yet, and these jobs are gotten ASAP; if you see their JLevels, you'll know why I'm lenient here.

Lastly, Melee Proficiency was taken at 15 per hand, which is about what you'd have if you constantly attacked with a Freelancer. This counts for like 1 more base damage (fear?) and 2 more hits per hand total.

For stuff I allow...well, there's a huge list of stuff, but I should justify why I allow them:
Storebought Stuff: Simple enough, nearly everyone allows these. Most of the stuff *IS* storebought.
JL99 Wifi Stuff: This is mostly cause all the stuff is unique to one class, and ups variety within the game. It also acts as a consolation to some classes missing some big weapons they'd normally get in game (like Knight missing out on both Ragnarok AND Excalibur; getting Save the Queen doesn't make up for them entirely, but its better than nothing.)
Totally Unique Stuff: Vikings Hammers, Dragoon's Spears, Scholars Books, etc. Stuff that can only be used by one class...seems pretty simple.

Now for the stuff that's a bit more complex to justifty...
Genji Armor and Genji Helmet: I gave this to Ninja, because while stuff like Dark Knight and Freelancer can use them, they also get the BETTER IN EVERYWAY Crystal equivalents (which are storebought), so figured I'd throw Ninja the bone here. Note Genji Gloves has a legit use over Crystal Gloves (+4 Agility to be exact), as does the Shield, so both of those were illegal.
Moonring Blade: One of the OMG LEGENDARIES!!! of Eureka...its not as cracked up as you'd expect. Its usable by only Ninja and Thief regardless, HOWEVER, Ninja gets Kikuichimonji and its JL99 Weapon which are both better in everyway, besides the Range feature, which Ninja doesn't care about anyway due to Throw. So threw a bone to Thief here. Do note the Lust Dagger, a similar situation, has a use over Kikuichimonji (Agility boost, again), hence why that's illegal
Any Claw: I explain this below some, just noting that they fall into this grey area. If you don't allow them, mind, Black Belt hates you, and he does NOT need to be nerfed further.
Kikuichimonji: There's two in the game, usable by Dark Knight and Ninja...however, they both get at least one Superior in Everyway Weapon to go in that first hand of theirs, so its kind of like one for each class. As a side note, Ninja doesn't really use his physical for much anyway, due to Throw, yeah.

I also allow all magic in this game for classes who can use them; unlike, say, Lufia 2, Storebought Magic is a lot more diverse and spread out, and a pretty large advantage to classes in some cases, hence felt no need to restrict it.
Oh, like FF3o, you can equip up to 3 spells per level. This matters for Red Mage, Sage, Onion Knight, Freelancer and Scholar, all of whom can use more than 3 spells per level, so yeah. There's obvious choices in some cases, mind (like the godly SIGHT Spell is something to ignore, obviously)

FF3DS has A LOT of equip options, and listing them all for each given class would take forever, so I'll take the lazy way out and just list them right now. This makes it harder to see who can use what, but it looks cleaner in actual stats.

NOTE: All Claws in the game are found in chests (sadly), and there's exactly one of each after Bronze and Sonic Knuckles (the two weakest in the game.) So...all the stronger claws are illegal since its usable by 2 characters. HOWEVER, Monk and Black Belt have Bare Fist damage that doesn't totally fail, since its heavily based of Job Levels and such. This makes Black Belt not happy cause its got crappy JLevels, while Monk has a bunch, so I chose it based off "What are the strongest claws Black Belt can use that the Monk has no use for (no potentially useful stat boosts or side effects, and can't boost damage compared to barehanded either.) Yes, this is a very odd case.

Some of the above is default on PCs already, mind, but listing them for completeness, so you can compare directly for stat losses and such.


As for what stats do...
MP: Listed in order from 1-8; you need these to cast magic.
Attack: This stat being higher = more damage. Pretty simple. Unlike FF3o, though, dual wielding DOES use the total attack stat, then later multiplies the entire damage by 0.6x to offset the doubled amount of hits. Also note that the Attack Stat means a lot less for Monk (and any other weaponless fighter for that matter) than it does for all other fighters, using unique algorithms.
Defense: This stat being higher = less physical damage. Note that FF3DS uses both Division AND Subtraction defense. First, Defense is halved and subtracted from base damage, then later, Attack is then divided by Defense (Note that Strength and Vitality have nothing to do with this part...you'll see later), and that value is multiplied by the total damage; note that the second part has a Maximum cap of 2 and minimum cap of 0.5.
Magic Defense: Its the magic version of Defense. HOWEVER, unlike Defense, this is pure subtraction, though, its NOT divided in half. Do note that both defensive stats are very noticiable in game (Dark Cloud alone proves this)
Strength: Basically, for algorithms, this stat is added directly onto the Attack Stat for the Subtraction related part. It does practically nothing otherwise. The exception here is Harps damage.
Agility: The base used for hits. For every 7 points of this stat you have, you get an extra hit per hand (so 2 hits if dual wielding.) For Archery, its one hit every 9 Points, mind. This stat also plays a role in Hit Rate for physicals (which tends to override enemy evade, more often than not, end game, even on low Hit classes like Viking) and is the base for speed.
Vitality: This stat is more or less equivalent to Defense in the role it plays for the Subtraction part, as in, its cut in half then subtracted.
Intellect: Every 3 points you have of this stat = 1 more Multiplier to Attack magic, even for stuff like Holy which is White Magic. This stat also plays a role in Success Ratio, which is how often the spell would hit its max potential or hit a "failure" (damage is ROUGHLY halved on a failure)...needless to say, this stat plays a large role in magic damage. It also effects Status Hit rates in ALL cases, as far as magic goes; 1 point of Intellect yields 1% extra hit (as an added note, every 8 Job Levels adds another % to Status Hit rate on Magical status.) This also plays a role in Terrain damage.
Mind: Effects Healing Magic, Harp damage, and to some extent, Terrain damage. This stat also doubles as subtracting from status hit rates in the same way Intellect adds onto them, AND plays an identical role in Magic damage to Magic Defense (So basically...add Mind and Magic Defense together to get Effective magic defense), as well as lowering Magic Success Rates the same way Intellect raises those...basically, this is Intellect in defense mode.


Enemy defense was taken at 32...since that was the only listed Defensive stat, I assumed enemies Mind, Vitality, and Magic Defense were the same; bold assumption? Yes, but its the best I got, sadly, damage figures seem about right anyway.

Job Levels play a role in hit...for basic weapons (basically anything not Harps or Bows), 14 Job Levels = 1 Hit per hand, and it plays a MINOR role in damage dealt for physicals, and a moderate role for Magic, so this would explain some damage oddities that stats would suggest otherwise.

Lastly, FF3DS has a unique style of Item casting. You can item cast something from the menu like an item, or if the item is equipped...it doesn't matter really. HOWEVER, in order to item cast, you MUST be able to Equip the item to begin with. So while the Devout has unlimited Curaga's due to the Holy Staff, since it can equip it, no other class can take advantage of this, even if the item is simply lying in the inventory, since you can only item cast an item you can equip.

Anyway, onto the actual topic...in the next post...

Strength: 31
Agility: 51
Vitality: 31
Intellect: 59
Mind: 44

Attack: 6942 Holy elemental damage, 50% chance of adding Paralysis

Terrain: All Terrain skills ignores defense. Terrain works just like FF5's, in that it does an ability based on the surrounding area, with set chances of each.  I'll get to noting chances of each move later.  Also these moves are some of the only with actual listed Weight values, which are more or less directly sutracted from Agility for speed (so lower = faster)
Wind Slash: 4727 Wind elemental magic damage, 3 weight
Ice Storm: 3777 Ice elenental Magic damage, 4 weight
Magma: 4125 Fire elemental Magic damage, 3 weight
Fire Shot: 5809 Fire elemental magic damage, 4 weight
Ice Pillar: 5809 Ice elemental magic damage, 3 weight
Earthquake: 4588 Earth elemental magic damage, 3 weight

Terrain rates :
Plains: Wind Slash 50%; Ice Storm 48% Shadow Flare 2%, 4562 average damage
Desert: Earthquake 40%, Cave-in 38%, Wind Slash 20%. Shadow Flare 2%, 5608 average damage
Aquatic:Ice Pillar 40%, Whirlpool 38%, Wind Slash 20%, Shadow Flare 2%, 3654 average damage, 21% chance of instant death
Town of Ur: 50% Windslash, 50% Ice Storm, 4252 average damage (I highly doubt anyone sees this as default terrain granted...)
Cave of Fire: Magma 40%, Fire Shot 38%, Wind Slash 20%, Shadow Flare 2%, 5188 average damage
Saronia Pub: Black Hole 50%, Shadow Flare 40%, Wind Slash 10%, 8185 average damage, 50% chance of instant death (highly doubt anyone takes this as default too...)
Forbidden Land Eureka: Black Hole 40%, Shadow Flare 40%, Wind Slash 20%, 8657 average damage, 40% chance of instant death
World of Darkness: Wind Slash 23%, Ice Pillar 23%, Fire Shot 22%, Earthquake 22%, Shadow Flare 10%, 6638 average damage

Note that these are general areas; some random things use these Terrains, like Crystal Tower and Sky (as in on the airship) = Plains, so take this with a grain of salt
For the record, I assume Plains Terrain in the DL since its the most common in game.

Demon Eye: Adds Stone status, 52% accuracy

Rend: Lowers target's HP to laughable values, 52% accuracy

Bard(JL55)

Equipment:

Magic Defense: 95
Strength: 27
Agility: 43 (37)
Vitality: 47
Intellect: 40
Mind: 55 (60) (65 w/ Apollo's Harp specifically)

Attack (Main Gauche): 2044 damage
Attack (Harps): 616 (671 w/ Apollo's Harp) damage, note that this acts magical in that its based off enemies Magic Defense and Mind stats instead of Vitality and Defense stats (though, damage is based off users Mind and not Intellect, oddly enough.)  Also, depending on harp, this can have a variety of different status effects; check equipment section for what potential status effects there.

Sing: Songs are all dependant on what Harp is equipped.  The Harp MUST be equipped for the effect to go off.  Also note that you can change equipment in battle, so for those who allow equipment changing, that really helps out Bard drastically, obviously:

Madhura Harp - Song of Defense: Raises Defense by 25 after two turns.
Loki Harp - Song of Attack: Raises Attack by 25 after two turns
Lamia Harp - Song of Destruction: Deals damage equal to 15% Target's Current HP, this damage cannot exceed 9999

Attack: 2916 damage

Ok, Sage is complex, so bare with me.  First off, he gets all spells usable by Magus and Devout; simple enough.  The complex part is he ALSO gets the Evoker's versions of summons (instead of Summoner's like in FF3o), so...yeah, the last 2 moves are usable by the respective summons, and are 50% chance of kicking in each. I will note though, that while in game, the summons are useful (good damage relative to their Spell Charge amounts), they're practically worthless in the DL since the Sage can mimic most Summons with a FULLY CONTROLLED Black or White Magic spell; just listing them for completion.

Cura: 996 Healing

Thunderstorm: 1629 Lightning elemental magic damage

Level 4 Magic:
Blizzaga: 1509 Ice elemental magic damage
Shade: Adds Paralysis status, 32% accuracy
Break: 865 Nonelemental magic damage, adds Gradual Petrify, 54% accuracy
Libra: Reveals Enemies stats and such...not in the mood to hype this <_<
Confuse: Adds confusion status, 37% accuracy
Silence: Adds silence status, 52% accuracy
Healing Light: 3657 Healing
Hellfire: 1693 fire elemental magic damage

Level 5 Magic:
Raze: Instant Death to weak foes. I'm not sure the exact threshold it works on, but its dependant on enemies level relative to the users, if its anything like the original version (Kill from FF3o)
Thundaga: 1537 Lightning elemental magic damage
Erase: Dispel's positive status effects
Curaga: 2660 healing
Raise: Ressurection, not sure how much exactly, though I can say the person is revived with Jogurt level HP
Protect: Raises Defense and Magic Defense. Unfortunatly, nothing I can find indicates by how much. This can also be item cast via Defenders, mind
Clobber: 1417 Non elemental magic damage
Stomp: 1463 Non elemental magic damage

Level 6 Magic:
Aeroga: 1693 Wind elemental magic damage
Haste: Raises Physical damage based on some factors, unfortunatly, its not documented HOW it boosts damage at all
Stona: Heals stone status
Firaga: 1601 Fire elemental magic damage
Warp: Instant Death, 32% accuracy, not sure if it yields EXP or not though (guessing no, since otherwise, this spell > Death in everyway)
Bio: 1417 Nonelemental magic damage
Protective Light: Adds Reflect status to user; like the White Magic version of the status, it reflects one spell back at the enemy.
Slash: 2199 Non elemental magic damage

Level 7 Magic:
Esuna: Heals all status
Curaja: 3990 Healing
Reflect: Reflects the next spell cast.  Note that, unlike the FF3o version, this DOES include healing magic, hence, isn't always a favorable move.
Quake: 1141 Earth elemental damage (I believe this ignores split damage, hence why its weaker than Agas and Bio)
Breakaga: Adds Petrify status, 22% Accuracy
Drain: 1049 Nonelemental magic damage, heals user equal to damage done

Demon Eye: Adds Stone status, 22% accuracy

Arise: Full HP ressurection
Tornado: Lowers targets HP to Single Digits, 52% accuracy
Flare: 2798 Nonelemental Magic damage
Meteor: 1417 Nonelemental magic damage (Forced MT that ignores split damage, if you're wondering why it exists in game)
Death: Instatn Death, 61% Accuracy
Aura: Adds Haste status to user, note that given the lack of decent documentation, I can't say how effective this is. It apparently does raise Magic damage though, which means I am forced to hate life cause apparently people who do Battle Mechanic FAQs don't know how to cover important stuff
Rend: Lowers target's HP to laughable values, 22% accuracy

BOSSES FROM THE ELF!

This stat topic is highly cursory. Deal with it. If someone wants to do more formal tests I'll edit any findings in.

-All bosses doubleact. They generally can't double up anything that isn't a physical. In fact, they generally can't actually use more than one action that -isn't- a physical. Interpret as you will with whatever views you take on boss AI.
-Most magic can be cast MT at about half damage. If a spell can not be used MT, I will say so. Status magic can also be used MT (usually is in fact), I have no clue if its hit rate suffers.
-Physical damage is to front row, back row halves it. Back row PCs tend to have relatively lower damage, so if you use it heavilly you'll want to lower my damage fitures.
-Speaking of damage, I'm usually based around a pretty overall competent party, with a reasonable damage focus (though there will be some healer class use in there, and they obviously lower the average). I'm not damage-twinked, though; no JL99 Warrior or anything.
-A bunch of early-midgame bosses have low HP limits. I have no clue when they're unlocked, but I'd guess 1/4 max HP, though it might vary. A bunch of later bosses have limits at half HP; these I'm pretty sure about.
-All bosses fight four PCs.

Anyway, FF3DS bosses rule. They doubleact and have huge damage, and while HP is rarely good, defences often are. So yeah, don't expect any Lights or Middles here.

Land Turtle

... except this guy.

Sucks ass. I'll get him later. Maybe.

Djinn

Average damage: 60
Average HP: 100 (L6)

600 HP
Weak to Ice. Slightly below average Def.
Below average speed.

Attack - 50
Fire - 40 fire magic

Comments: Great damage. Nothing else about him's too hot (ha ha), but damage is good enough.

Nepto

Average damage: Uh
Average HP: 135 (L9)

Some crazy amount of HP. Not sure if it's finite or not.

Attack: 3000. Decent crit rate (50% or so) for 5000.

Comments: Pfft Fate Storm is yesterday's news.

Giant Rat

Average damage: 115
Average HP: 150 (L10)

900 HP
Takes 60% from magic.
Your physicals fail against him in-game because you're Minied. On paper, he should be a supertank (hugely above average Def). You could also see his Def as average, equal to his MDef, or infinite. I probably go by the in-game stat but I'm not sure what it translates to... except that he's better than Medusa unscaled, and... well, see below.

Attack - 50, low chance (25%) of Poison (Poison does about 4% damage per turn)
Fire: 70 fire magic
Blizzard: 80 ice magic
Thunder: 90 bolt magic
Fira: 220 fire magic. Low HP only.

Comments: Don't fuck with giant rats. Damage rules. Fira is just wrong. HP's kinda bad, but defences to the rescue.

Medusa

Average damage: 250
Average HP: 280 (L15)

3000 HP
Takes 50% from physicals.
Takes 80% from magic.

Attack - 110
Fira - 210 fire magic
Thundara - 210 lightning magic
Stare - Petrify, ST, 25%

Comments: You get the picture by now. I've never seen her double the big spells with each other, but even if you ban her from doing that she owns.

Gutsco the Rogue

Average damage: 260
Average HP: 310 (L16)

3500 HP
Takes 70% from physicals.
Takes 110% from magic.

Attack - 120
Cure - 90 healing
Mini - Mini, ~75%. (Physicals now fail beyond belief, and your Def is shot to hell.) Low HP only.
Attack, after Mini - 270

If Mini's hit rate focusses then it's much more accurate. Dunno.

Comments: Gimmick boss centering around a status limit. Healing, though generally laughable, could counteract chipping. Neat. Decent FF3DS boss offence is merely a fallback!

Salamander (Gutsco 2)

Average damage: 300
Average HP: 380 (L18)

5700 HP
Weak to Ice. (Halves Fire?)
Takes 80% from physicals.
Takes 60% from magic.

Attack - 150
Flame - 240 fire magic MT. Low HP only.

I didn't think to test his fire affinity, but based on FF3o and the fact that FF3DS no longer seems to have nulls/absorbs...

Comments: Damage variance due to PC Def stats is starting to get scary. Anyway, more HP makes him better than his last form, but no Mini means he's less cool.

Hein

Average damage: 440
Average HP: 420 (L19)

4500 HP
Takes 40% from physicals.
Takes 60% from magic.

Attack - 240
Poison - 60 magic, inflicts Poison (damage misses if status does)
Blind - Blind (think Blind halves hit rate)
Barrier Shift - Sets his weakness to either Fire, Ice, or Lightning, and now halves the other two. Ups his speed ridiculously this round (and remember he can doubleact with this).

Did not get a good read on his status hit rates. My guess would be 50%.

Comments: Really wish I knew more about his status. Otherwise, brings physical devastation through either doubleacts or insane-speed singles. Lots of defensive spoiling too, hates non-typed damage though.

Kraken

Average damage: 550
Average HP: 490 (L21)

8000 HP
Weak to Lightning. Halves Fire.
Takes 80% from physicals.
Takes 60% from magic.

Attack - 250, low chance of Blind
Blizzara - 500 ice magic
Blind - Blind, about 50%

Comments: Best Kraken ever. Totally broken, the best boss yet, OHKOs both defences and nice durability.

Goldor

Average damage: 725
Average HP: 670 (L25)

9000 HP
Takes 80% from physicals.
Takes 30% from magic.

Attack - 200
Slience - Silence (no spells)
Confuse - Confuse (FF style, you attack your allies or yourself)
Thundara - 450 lightning magic. Low HP only.

As usual, 50% is my guess on his status, and no this isn't formally tested.

Comments: I'LL GET YOU POWER RANGERS. Mocks mages, otherwise isn't quite as offensively adept as past bosses but still decent; some status options help.

Garuda

Average damage: 750
Average HP: 720 (L26)

10000 HP
Weak to Wind/Flying/Jump.
Takes 40% from physicals.
Takes 100% from magic.

Attack - 250
Lightning - 600 lightning magic, MT

Comments: Finally gets a DL form that does him some justice. OHKO damage and mocks puny physicals. Needless to say, Lightning in-game is extreme pain; you can't even get lightning protection.

Odin

Average damage: 2100
Average HP: 1170 (L34)

31000 HP
Takes 90% from physicals.
Takes 90% from magic.
Above average speed.

Attack - 600
Zantetsuken - 1150 magic, MT. Low HP only.

Comments: Powerful physicals, gets better at low HP, having some speed helps. He's an optional boss. You can fight him up to two dungeons earlier than I did (I'd be about L29 then), or right before the end of the game. He should probably be fought a bit later if anything.

Hecatoncheir

Average damage: 2400
Average HP: 1380 (L37)

28000 HP
Takes 90% from physicals.
Takes 90% from magic.

Attack - 600

Comments: Could he be any more boring?


The following bosses, up to but excluding Xande, can largely be fought in any order, except that Doga/Unei must be before the Eureka bosses (Amon through Guardian). Realistically you will fight the Eureka bosses last, anyway (they're inside the final dungeon, but optional). Your level may vary a bit as a result, etc. Titan guards the last set of jobs, Leviathan and Bahamut grant summons, and Doga/Unei are part of the main plot.

Titan

Average damage: 2500
Average HP: 1380 (L37)

29000 HP
Takes 80% from physicals.
Takes 90% from magic.

Attack - 1100
Quake - 600 earth magic, MT. Below half HP only.

Comments: He hits HARD. Unlike some his magic limit serves only as an alternative, rather than his best damage. (Though it's perfect for picking off revival attempts in-game.) Flipside it's got a larger range than most.

Leviathan

Average damage: 3000
Average HP: 1520 (L39)

32000 HP
Weak to Lightning. (Halves Fire?)
Takes 100% from physicals.
Takes 80% from magic.

Attack - 600, low chance (about 25%) of Petrify
Haste - Raises physical offence by roughly a third.
Tsunami - 1200 magic, MT. Elemental but I don't know which. Below half HP only.

Comments: Why look it's more Odin. He's got a better limit range, but worse raw HP. Stone and Haste to take out pesky stallers is nice.

Doga

Average damage: 4200
Average HP: 1580 (L40)

22800 HP
Takes 90% from physicals.
Takes 90% from magic.

Attack - 1000
Blizzaga - 1000 ice magic
Thundaga - 1100 lightning magic
Drain - 600 magic, ST, parasitic
Flare - 2500 magic, ST. Below half HP only.

Comments: For an UOM who gets plot billing as a mage, he sure packs a wallop with his physicals. Not to say his magic is bad - it's just as good and downright disgusting once he's been beaten up some. That said, the HP is... not good. Not good at all. Still, if you don't OHKO him or go second you're in for a world of pain. And heaven help you if you see Flare, though you really should be able to dodge it. Since he's got a notable amount of plot compared to every previous boss, I'll actually give him a ranking, and say he belongs in Heavy, though he's an oddball for certain.

Unei

Average damage: 4200
Average HP: 1580 (L40)

21800 HP
Takes 80% from physicals.
Takes 90% from magic.

Attack - 900
Haste - Raises physical offence by roughly a third
Protect - Reduces oncoming physical damage by roughly a quarter
Aeroga - 1100 wind magic
Whirlwind - Inflicts near-fatal, unknown hit rate
Holy - 2500 holy magic, ST. Below half HP only.

Comments: Pretty much the same as her colleague. I could go over all the minor differences but they don't really matter much. Haste/Protect would be cool if she could take hits, but hahaha. Same godly offence and crappy durability otherwise. Think she's faster but I really didn't play around long enough to be certain. (Both of them are way too good on offence to toy with.) So yeah, another Heavy.

Bahamut

Average damage: 4400
Average HP: 1660 (L41)

34000 HP
Takes 100% from physicals.
Takes 90% from magic.

Attack - 900
Megaflare - 1100 magic, MT. Below half HP only.

Comments: Leviathan who learned how to physical things without the help of Haste. Less durability though (and the Leviathan spell itself was a big part of that for my party <_<). I expected him to be better, honestly; this is a rare boss who was significantly better in FF3o.

Amon

Average damage: 4800
Average HP: 1930 (L45)

33500 HP
Takes 40% from physicals.
Takes 80% from magic.

Attack - 600
Blizzaga - 800 ice magic
Barrier Shift - See Hein. If it gives a speed boost, though, it's nearly not as large (for the time).

Comments: What the hell. After the previous bosses his damage feels anemic. Still, nice to see the old defence back, I was wondering if it was still possible. He's pretty boring, not nearly as good as Hein overall.

Kunoichi

Average damage: 4800
Average HP: 1930 (L45)

29000 HP
Takes 70% from physicals.
Takes 80% from magic.
Bloody fast (often goes before my THIEF).

Triple-acts. Remember, only physicals can be doubled/tripled.
Attack - 1100, low chance of Poison
Aeroga - 1300 wind magic
Haste - Raises physical offence by roughly a third

Comments: Argh the offence it burrrnnns ussss. Best damage AND best speed of any boss so far, and Haste only makes it better. Crappy HP holds her in check, but she's still a monster, an improved version of Doga/Unei.

General

Average damage: 4900
Average HP: 1950 (L45)

35000 HP
Takes 100% from physicals.
Takes 110% from magic.
Above average speed.

Attack - 1100
Bio - 1200 magic, low chance of Poison?


Comments: Compared to Kunoichi he's kinda sad. Doesn't mean he's bad in his own right, though. Durability is kinda assy, offence is pretty solid. Supposedly he has other spells, like Drain and Death. FF3DS Death apparently sucks by FF3DS status standards, so whatever.

Scylla

Average damage: 5000
Average HP: 2000 (L46)

35000 HP
Takes 90% from physicals.
Takes 100% from magic.

Attack - 1100, low chance of Petrify (~1/3)
Holy - 3000 holy magic, ST
Thundaga - 1400 lightning magic

Comments: It's possible she has other moves. Anyway, Holy lacking an HP trigger is sick, and means Kunoichi has been surpassed for most damaging FF3DS boss. Same durability woes as other Eureka bosses.

Guardian

Average damage: 5000
Average HP: 2000 (L46)

33700 HP
Takes 100% from physicals.
Takes 100% from magic.

Attack - 1100, low chance of Confuse (~1/3)
Reflect - Standard version, normal magic hits other side

Comments: Yeah, really didn't test him much at all. Supposedly he has Quake, which based on extrapolation I'd imagine is a bit weaker than his physical. Could be low HP for all I know. Regardless, solid offence, bad defence, and Reflect is a nice trick.

Xande

Average damage: 6500
Average HP: 2250 (L49)

50000 HP
Takes 100% from physicals.
Takes 90% from magic.

Attack - 1000
Blizzaga - 1300 ice magic
Thundaga - 1300 lightning magic
Firaga - 1400 fire magic
Haste - Raises physical offence by roughly a third
Protect - Reduces oncoming physical damage by roughly a quarter

Comments: Supposedly he has Meteor at low HP... but Meteor has a lower spell power than the -agas anyway so this doesn't really matter. Durability is Eureka-level, which is, if you haven't figured out by now, a bad thing. Still, nice damage (one-rounds things) and boss immunities isn't bad. Guess he's Heavy.

Ahriman

You can fight the Dark Guardians in any order, so here's the releveant stats halfway through the guauntlet. (As you can see it doesn't really matter when you take them.)
Average damage: 6500
Average HP: 2380 (L50)

99999 HP
Takes 90% from physicals.
Takes 100% from magic.
Weak to Wind.

Attack - 800, low chance of Petrify
Quake - 900 earth magic, MT
Blizzaga - 1500 ice magic
Thundaga - 1500 lightning magic
Firaga - 1600 fire magic
Curaja - 4800 healing

Comments: Dark World FINALLY gives us back some bosses with HP. Anyway, as much as Ahriman is mediocre in-game this time around, he's pretty good in a duel. Durability gives him time to play with his various offensive tricks.

Two-Headed Dragon

99999 HP
Takes 90% from physicals.
Takes 100% from magic.

Attack - 1600, moderate (~50%) chance of Silence.

Comments: SMASH. He's one-dimensional and nerfed from FF3o but still pretty good, Silence owns tanky non-immune healer types I guess.

Echidna

99999 HP
Takes 90% from physicals.
Takes 100% from magic.

Attack - 1200, low chance of Silence
Quake - 700 earth magic, MT
Drain - 600 magic, ST, parasitic
Whirlwind - Inflicts near-fatal, unknown hit rate
Death - Instant death, ST, unknown hit rate

Comments: Whirlwind + damage is a pretty awesome PC killing trick, and she has the durability to make sure she gets it off. Slugging's not horrible, though the worst of the Dark Guardians.

Cerberus

99999 HP
Takes 100% from physicals.
Takes 90% from magic.
Above average speed.

Triple-acts. No doubling non-physicals.
Attack - 1400, low chance of Poison
Blizzaga - 1400 ice magic
Thundaga - 1400 lightning magic
Firaga - 1500 fire magic

Comments: Owns. ^_^ FF3's Doglike rivals Medusa for most improved boss, I think. And is probably the best FF3DS boss in a duel. He's got it all: speed, good damage to either defence, even some durability.


Cloud of Darkness

Average damage: 6500
Average HP: 2480 (L51)

Note: I listed the same average damage for her as the previous bosses. My in-game damage dropped considerably due to using a second healer, but I'm not really inclined to give the boss doublecredit for offence. Even if it's a form of offence that generally doesn't translate to the DL (MT).

Cloud of Darkness has a main body and two tentacles. Killing the body ends the battle.

120000 HP (Tentacles have 60000 each, I think)
Takes 80% from physicals.
Takes 90% from magic.

Main body:
Attack - 1300
Particle Beam - 1500 magic, MT. Below ~75% HP only. Lowers her action speed significantly.

Left Tentacle (one turn per round):
[Immune to physicals]
Attack - 1000
Haste - Raises physical offence by roughly a third
Protect - Reduces oncoming physical damage by roughly a quarter (won't be cast on itself for obvious reasons)
Bad Breath - Inflicts Toad/Paralysis/Silence/Blind/Poison, ST. Perfect accuracy.

Right Tentacle (one turn per round):
[Immune to magic]
Lightning - 500 lightning magic, MT

Comments: Actually she's pretty disappointing. Monster in-game but... hmm. OHKO damage but not by all that much and if she wants to access another damage type she needs to wait to be beaten up AND it lowers her speed. If you give her the moves of her tentacles at least (I do) then she gets Haste for a little added punch, Protect for fighters, and most importantly, Bad Breath for awesome PC-killin' goodness. Give her the turns of the Tentacles as well and now we're talkin', terrific damage to work with (though still almost all physical). Solid durability regardless, a step up from the Dark Guardians in this regard. Fits somewhere in Godlike, though how good depends on the above interpretation calls.

Random notes and things:

....ok, just one.

Xande has Haste.  This boosts his physical to ~1400 or so.  Yay, I guess

[Fenrir]

Hein has Blizzara. It hits like a truck. 550-600 damage to my level 31 Knight.
